| Abstract | Previous experiments demonstrated that Schwann cells from permanently transected sciatic nerves of adult rats synthesize basal levels of the major myelin glycoprotein (P0). This denervated preparation at 35 days after transection was characterized by the absence of both axons and myelin assembly. The present investigation demonstrates that production of P0 continues after culture of the Schwann cells as endoneurial slices for 14 days. Thus, the level of differentiation is unchanged in culture even though only basal levels of P0 are produced and post-translational processing is incomplete. In contrast, Schwann cells from 4-day-old rat sciatic nerves actively synthesized P0 and assembled myelin membrane; however, after only 4 days in culture biosynthesis of P0 ceased. Because the same culture conditions and precursor incorporation procedures were used for both neonatal and transected nerves, it is proposed that neonatal Schwann cells in culture return to a progenitor state that is not capable of P0 gene expression. This comparison, both before and after culture, of neonatal Schwann cells that are programmed to myelinate and Schwann cells from the adult transected nerve that were in a myelin-maintaining mode provides a useful model for investigating the mechanisms by which differential gene expression is controlled. These results confirm that axons are not necessary for specifying P0 gene expression by Schwann cells from the adult transected nerves. The role that axons play in controlling P0 gene expression by neonatal Schwann cells in culture, however, has yet to be determined. It is concluded that the differentiation and maturation of Schwann cells is multistage process that allows the sequential production of specific gene products. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
